I think there are many cases where a 'disconnected' network will want
ipv6, I do NOT believe they should use ULA space except in the most
extreme cases. It makes more sense to just get these folks a GUA
allocation of their proper size, support their DNS and registry needs.

I agree that global connectivity should be optional... I've worked on
more than one network that had better never see the light of day, and
will most likely need (or already has?) ipv6 deployments in the coming
months/years.
